Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We were sound asleep one night in our lonely prairie cabin. Our horses and cattle were ranging quietly in the woods. The fire in the fireplace was dying down slowly, but the coals still kept our single room nice and warm. Snuggled within the blankets, we knew nothing of what was happening outside. Suddenly, about two hours before day, the snorting of our horses and lowing of our cattle awoke us. I took my rifle and went to the door to see what beast had caused the hubbub. I expected to see the shadow of a wolf or a bear coming near. I could only wish it was one of those. I stepped outside with my rifle cocked, and that’s when I was struck by the glare of light reflected on all the trees before me. The light carried as far as I could see through the woods. Read of how this brave pioneer family saved themselves from a deadly fire that swept through their area. Educational Versions Include exercises designed to meet Common Core Standards.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am a retired captain of the upper sea. That is to say, when I was a younger man I was a balloonist. Naturally it is a hazardous profession, and naturally I have had many thrilling experiences. The most thrilling, or at least the most nerve-racking, is the one I am about to tell you. Before you can understand what happened, I must first explain a bit about the nature of the hot air balloon that is used for parachute jumping. If you have ever witnessed such a jump, you will remember that as soon as the parachute was cut loose the balloon turned upside down. It emptied itself of its smoke and heated air, flattened out and fell straight down, beating the parachute to the ground. Thus there is no chasing a big deserted bag for miles and miles across the country, saving much time, as well as trouble. This maneuver is accomplished by attaching a weight, at the end of a long rope, to the top of the balloon. The aeronaut, with his parachute and trapeze, hangs from the bottom of the balloon. His weight keeps it right side down. When he jumps, the weight attached to the top immediately drags the top down. The bottom, which is the open mouth, goes up, and the heated air pours out. The weight used for this purpose on the “Little Nassau” was a bag of sand. Imagine my horror, when I discovered a child hanging from the bag at 100 feet above the ground! Find out what happens to the child in this 15-minute adventure! Ages 8 and up. Educational Versions Include exercises designed to meet Common Core Standards.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times–bestselling classic set amid the mountains and streams of early twentieth-century Montana, “as beautiful as anything in Thoreau or Hemingway” (Chicago Tribune). When Norman Maclean sent the manuscript of A River Runs Through It and Other Stories to New York publishers, he received a slew of rejections. One editor, so the story goes, replied, “it has trees in it.” Today, the title novella is recognized as one of the great American tales of the twentieth century, and Maclean as one of the most beloved writers of our time. The finely distilled product of a long life of often surprising rapture—for fly-fishing, for the woods, for the interlocked beauty of life and art—A River Runs Through It has established itself as a classic of the American West filled with beautiful prose and understated emotional insights. Based on Maclean’s own experiences as a young man, the book’s two novellas and short story are set in the small towns and mountains of western Montana. It is a world populated with drunks, loggers, card sharks, and whores, but also one rich in the pleasures of fly-fishing, logging, cribbage, and family. By turns raunchy and elegiac, these superb tales express, in Maclean’s own words, “a little of the love I have for the earth as it goes by.” “Maclean’s book—acerbic, laconic, deadpan—rings out of a rich American tradition that includes Mark Twain, Kin Hubbard, Richard Bissell, Jean Shepherd, and Nelson Algren.” —New York Times Book Review Includes a new foreword by Robert Redford, director of the Academy Award–winning film adaptation

Book excerpt: Fort William Henry and Fort Phil Kearny were both military outposts of the North American frontier. Both lasted but briefly—about two years from construction until their walls went up in flames. And both saw what were termed “massacres” by Indians outside their walls. This book reexamines the traumatic events at both forts. The Fort William Henry Massacre was condemned by both the British and the French as barbaric. Yet these European powers proved capable of similar crimes. The Fort Phil Kearny defeat, traditionally attributed to Captain William Fetterman’s having disobeyed orders, has been scrutinized in recent years. Did the women present at that time write a distorted version of events? It would appear that his second-in-command, the rash Lieutenant George Grummond, led the charge over Lodge Trail Ridge. Or did he?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Short subject films have a long history in American cinemas. These could be anywhere from 2 to 40 minutes long and were used as a "filler" in a picture show that would include a cartoon, a newsreel, possibly a serial and a short before launching into the feature film. Shorts could tackle any topic of interest: an unusual travelogue, a comedy, musical revues, sports, nature or popular vaudeville acts. With the advent of sound-on-film in the mid-to-late 1920s, makers of earlier silent short subjects began experimenting with the short films, using them as a testing ground for the use of sound in feature movies. After the Second World War, and the rising popularity of television, short subject films became far too expensive to produce and they had mostly disappeared from the screens by the late 1950s. This encyclopedia offers comprehensive listings of American short subject films from the 1920s through the 1950s.
